Writing a sniff

Implement DocbookCS\Sniff\SniffInterface (or extend AbstractSniff):

namespace Acme\DocbookSniffs;

use DocbookCS\Sniff\AbstractSniff;
use DocbookCS\Source\File;

final class MySniff extends AbstractSniff
{
    public static function getCode(): string
    {
        return 'Acme.MySniff';
    }

    public function process(\DOMDocument $document, File $file): array
    {
        $violations = [];
        // ... inspect $document, add violations via $this->createViolation(...)
        return $violations;
    }
}

Register it in your config:

<sniff class="Acme\DocbookSniffs\MySniff" />

CLI Scope

By default, DocbookCS checks the current Git diff from its upstream branch point through the working tree. Alternatively, a unified diff can be piped or file and directory paths passed. The inspection scope is limited to the given diff or the full contents of the given file paths.

XML references are expanded by default, but violations and fixes remain limited to the given scope. With --wide, every file, inferred from paths or diff, as a whole will be checked and referenced SYSTEM XML files recursively included in violation reports and fixing.

Input	--wide	Full File(s)	References
none	no	no	no
none	yes	yes	yes
path	no	yes	no
path	yes	yes	yes
piped diff	no	no	no
piped diff	yes	yes	yes
